Nazis Do Better With Social Security Than Teachers

I was a public school teacher for 40 years who has to ask a question: How would I have been better off in Connecticut, being a Nazi war criminal or a teacher?

Interestingly enough, the federal government has been paying Nazi war criminals full Social Security benefits for decades. In fact, one former Auschwitz guard, Jakob Denzinger, still receives $1,500 a month in Social Security benefits. All told, millions and millions of dollars of our taxpayer dollars have been used for this outrage.

In 15 states, public school teachers have their Social Security benefits reduced by as much as 60 percent after they earned all their Social Security quarters. Of course, Connecticut is one of them! This is because of the Social Security offset, an unfair law passed in the 1980s that penalizes teachers. I myself will receive about $650 a month of the $1,500 a month I should be rightly receiving.

I ask the question again: How would I have been better off in Connecticut, being a Nazi war criminal, or a teacher?
